hit head, big o' bump :(

My 20 month old tripped over her feet around 10:15 this morning and really hit her head good on the hard floor. She started crying immediately and it swelled WAY up and bruised. I put ice on it for a while and the swelling went down quite a bit. She has acted and eaten normally since then, playing and having a snack and lunch. But she hasn't taken a nap yet (she usually takes one around 11 so I didn't want to put her down for one at that point just in case). But, then about 40 minutes ago she puked a little while she was laying down watching a movie. I don't know if it is related or not, but I am wondering what others think? I called her dr office but of course had a leave a message and am still waiting to hear back....

Would I see extreme vomiting and other symptoms if she had something wrong with her? She did eat crackers, cheese, some lunch meet and almost a whole apple, so I wonder if she just ate a little too much or something....

    I would be concerned by the vomiting. It might not be related at all, but our pedi always tells us to watch for delayed reactions to head injuries, including vomiting. If the pedi doesn't call you back quickly, I'd call again and ask to at least talk t

    Thanks, yeah that's what I was worried about too. The nurse did call back a couple minutes ago and I discussed things with her. She seemed not to be too concerned but told me to watch for changes in behavior or how she walks. I have been keeping an eye on

    Head injury is ER worthy, but since it's a weekday maybe you can go to UC? I'd go before they close and you're stuck doing ER. The vomiting would worry me too.

    We just had something similar happen. 


    DS fell from the carseat sitting in the van at daycare, got a big bump & road rash.  Acted totally normal all day, but I called Children's Hospital nurse line & they suggested I go in

    MY LO and I took a spill a couple days ago, and he hit his head against the doorjam on our way down and again once we hit the floor.  I was horrified!  Since it was the weekend, I got the emergency oncall doc, and he made note that vomiting i
